Montreal's Parking!

If I knew that the parking in Montreal will be that expensive, I would buy a parking space and be millionaire ! It cost us 6$ for 2 hours on the street( not refundable ) so you better walk around to use all your time!  and the cost in most of the parking is around minimum 10-15$ for half a day! 

Ok, let's do some calculation : the minimum salary is 9.50 $ ( don't forget to remove the taxes, the pension, the blablabla). The gas now cost around 1.15 $/ L, the parking cost 3$/hour, so if you travel by car and park on the street, more the the 1/3 of your salary goes back to the government! 

I have a suggestion, the city should create a ''Car Owner Taxe'', like the house taxes, you pay a taxes each year then you can park anywhere in the city for free!! That way you don't lose your money if you pay for 2 hours but use only 1h! Or they should sell parking passes (like the bus/metro pass). Let's see with the pass, you pay only by minute, by the time you used!

What do you think? I think that will not be possible because it will make less money for the city! But it was just my little  thinking from my little head! lol !
